Will the ThermAssure work with longer hoses?
A. The ThermAssure ships with two hoses with a diameter of 2 3/8″ that have a maximum extension of about 22 inches in length (the hose is like one found on a clothes dryer that can compress and extend). We know of customers that have installed longer hoses up to about 4 feet in length with a similar 2 3/8″ diameter and the unit still performs well. Be aware that the length and diameter of the hoses will affect airflow to the area to be heated or cooled. The longer the hose and the wider the diameter…the lower the air pressure will be on the receiving end of the hose. Q. Why does the ThermAssure need “primed” by letting it run for 15 minutes, turning it off for 5 minutes, and then back on for 15 minutes again? Why shouldn’t I turn the unit back on again for 5 minutes after turning it off? A.The ThermAssure units are fully tested at the factory when built. However, because of transit and possible storage times, the coolant in the system may settle and not fully charge the compressor. B
